Everything you always wanted to know about going to Supai but couldn't find anywhere else...
No cars.
The only U.S. mail delivery made by mule.
Some of the world's most scenic waterfalls.
A seemingly idyllic lifestyle unfettered by modern bustle.
From high atop Hualupai Hilltop, overlooking a grandiose expanse of canyon, one cannot fathom the drastic changes which will unfold gradually, step by step, to reveal the lush garden paradise that is Havasupai Indian Reservation. It has been called "The Shangri-La of the Desert" by some, and is home to about 650 Havasupai people.
The town is equipped with a general store, post office, museum, schoolhouse, lodge and cafe, and the main activity is hanging around the town square relaxing and watching tourists come wearily down the 8-mile trail to the town. After stopping momentarily for a refreshing lemonade or a tasty Indian taco, hikers will walk another 2.5 miles to the campground.
